How Long Do Fillers Last?

Dermal Fillers have become one of the most popular procedures in aesthetics! They as fast, affordable, and have instant satisfying results. The use of fillers have maintained a more youthful look for many women resulting in a lesser need for cosmetic surgeries over the years. The treatments usually take 30 min to 1-hour maximum for any area, with a minimal downtime afterward. You can practically get your lips plumped during your lunch hour and go to work immediately after!

But how long do fillers last? & how often do you need to have them done?

The answer depends on the type of dermal filler used and the area injected in it! Some dermal fillers last from 6-12 months, while others can last up to 5 years!

Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural compound that aids in the production of collagen and elastin. Hyaluronic acid also helps the skin absorb water, which helps it look brighter, more hydrated, and firmer. That’s why the thinker the hyaluronic acid, the more volume it can provide. The type of lip filler your doctor will decide to use doesn’t purely depend on the duration that you want it to last, but rather on the part of the face being injected. For example, injection of the lips needs a softer form of filler which would allow for better shape and flexibility of the face while avoiding stiffness and excess volume. While injection in the check is meant to have more volume and be firmer. Hence, it wouldn’t come as a surprise for you to know that cheek fillers likely last longer than lip filler, would it?

Here’s a simple graph to show the types and durations for some of the most famous fillers in the market along with their reversibility potential…
